Follow this Checklist before you Store your Vintage Car

Classic, antique cars have a special feel about them. A vintage car is a memory of a world long gone. It is the feel of years of legacy between in your hands. With an antique, it is not a car that you drive; it is generations of regal experience.

If you are considering storing your car in a vehicle storage facility, here are some things you should keep in mind.

• The first step is to prepare our car for storage. You want your car to be in perfect shape when you remove it.
• Clean your car thoroughly and make any repairs that might be necessary. Make sure you clean the corners and the space between seat fittings. Food particles often slip in these areas and might attract bugs and rodents during storage. Also clean the dirt from under the car before you put it in storage.
• When you reach the storage, drain the engine oil while the car is still warm. Wear gloves to protect your hands from the hot oil.
• Drain the fuel tank too if you are storing your car for more than 6 months.
• Replace your brake fluid with new unused brake fluid.
• Drain the car's cooler and heater.
• Disconnect the heater hoses.
• Unscrew the radiator cap and leave it off. Replace the cooling system with rust-inhibiting antifreeze.
• Remove, clean and store the battery.
• Remove the tires and store them covered. Your car should be up on jacks.
• Lock the clutch
• Stuff a rag in the car's tailpipe to prevent rodents from hibernating there.
• Put baking soda sachets inside the car to absorb foul odors.
• Roll down your car windows and cover your car with a blanket.
